The Kingdom of Heaven works differently than the Kingdoms of Earth, and King Jesus gives us Heaven's disruptive strategies so we might subversively install his kingdom in our midst.
Collaborating with God
In Numbers 9, it's pretty clear that Israel didn't move unless God's cloud or fire led them somewhere else. But in Numbers 10, a team of Israelites sought a place to go next, and the cloud went with them. What do we do with these opposing stories? Jamin offers a suggestion based on the dynamic found throughout the rest of the Bible and in our own lives.
Christians and Politics
Few topics are messier than that of Christians and politics. Depending on what part of the Bible you read, you'll be told to listen to everything the government says or to challenge it prophetically. When do we challenge? How do we challenge? Why do we challenge? As Jamin wraps up his master's degree on theology and social justice, he uses 1 Peter as a springboard to look at the conversation from a physical and spiritual view and gives some points for action in the here and now.
Shine, Moses Shine
Sometimes you have an experience of God that is so great that everything changes and revolves around that moment. Moses had plenty of such moments, but we often reflect on his experience on the mountaintop with God. In this message, Jamin gets into several topics related to cosmology, spirituality, theosis, the image of God, spiritual gifts, and, most importantly, the intimacy of God.

God's Descendants and the Serpent's Descendants
The theme of God's kingdom arises throughout the entirety of the Bible. It is what God wants to install on the earth, is installing on the earth, and will install on the earth. But in this age, God's descendants often run up against the descendants of the serpent, who is trying to build his own kingdom through his own descendants.

You Can Increase God's Glory
It's hard to narrow the word glory down because it has a lot of meanings in the Bible. In this message, Jamin works off Matthew Bates' book, "Why the Gospel?," to describe God's glory in a way that implies fame. From this point of view, you actually have the ability to increase God's glory. Jamin explains what he means.
